Thunderbird school hosts 5K walk, run

The Thunderbird School of Global Management will be the site of a 5K run/walk on March 27 to raise funds for the Tia Foundation, a non-profit group that promotes health care in rural Mexico.

Thunderbird graduate and Arizona State University alum Laura Libman organized the run for her foundation. She hopes to raise $10,000 for health services.

The run/walk begins at 9 a.m. on the rugby field at Thunderbird, 15249 N. 59th Avenue. A family fun run begins at 10 a.m. and barbecue will be available for $5 per person from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Registration fees are $25 through March 20, and increase to $30 on March 21. The family fun run will cost $10 per person. ASU and Thunderbird students will receive a $5 discount for the run/walk. The first 25 entrants will get free barbecue.
